Smart Licensing Using Policy Overview

Smart Licensing Using Policy (SLP) is a flexible licensing model that simplifies and streamlines the process of purchasing and managing software. It provides users with a faster, easier, and more consistent experience across the entire Cisco portfolio.

SLP users benefit from:

  • Easy Activation: A centralized pool of software licenses for the entire organization, eliminating the need for Product Activation Keys (PAKs).

  • Unified Management: Access to My Cisco Entitlements (MCE), offering a comprehensive view of all Cisco products and services through an intuitive portal, ensuring you always know what you have and are using.

  • License Flexibility: Software licenses are not tied to specific hardware, allowing for seamless use and transfer as needed.

 Note

This guide supports all IIoT Routers and replaces individual chapters in each software configuration guide.

SLP as Default Licensing Model

SLP became the default licensing model for IIOT Routers starting with IOS-XE release 17.3.2. It was formerly known as Smart Licensing Enhanced (SLE), which had replaced Smart Software Licensing model.

Licensing Throughput Levels

The throughput level on the device sets the bandwidth limit for encrypted traffic. There is no limit imposed on non-encrypted (clear) traffic passing through the device.

Compliance with Global Export Regulations

To comply with global export regulations, if more than 250 Mbps of encrypted traffic is needed, you must select an “uncapped” option—dependent on the platform—on CCW, and obtain an HSEC license.

This limit is imposed bidirectionally.. For instance, if the throughput limit is set to 250 Mbps, the device can handle up to 250 Mbps of encrypted traffic in either direction—both for receiving and transmitting. There is no limit on unencrypted traffic.

When the throughput level on the device is set to ‘uncapped,’ there are no limits on either encrypted or unencrypted traffic passing through it.

 Note

To avoid confusion regarding throughput limits on IOS XE software releases, see these points:

  • Cisco IOS XE release 17.11.1a and earlier on the ESR6300, IR1800, and IR8140 platforms support boost, uncapped, and unlimited licenses, configured using the platform hardware throughput level 2G CLI.

  • Cisco IOS XE release 17.12.1 and later on the ESR6300, IR1800, and IR8140 platforms support the same licenses but are configured using the platform hardware throughput level uncapped CLI.

  • For Cisco IOS XE release 17.12.1 and later, both the platform hardware throughput level 2G and the platform hardware throughput level uncapped CLIs will deliver the same throughput as the uncapped license.

Device# license boot level network-advantage
Configure Throughput Level

Use the platform hardware throughput level limit command to configure the throughput level for all the devices, except IR8300.

Device# platform hardware throughput level 25
Configure Throughput Level on IR8300

Use the platform hardware throughput crypto limit command to configure the throughput level for IR8300.

Device# platform hardware throughput crypto 25
Verify Throughput Level

Use the show version | include throughput command to see the throughput configured on the device.

Device# show version | include throughput

License Enforcement Types

Each license falls under one of three enforcement types, indicating whether authorization is required prior to use.

  • Unenforced or Not Enforced

  • Enforced

  • Export-Controlled

Unenforced or Not Enforced

The majority of licenses fall under this category. Unenforced licenses do not require authorization for use in air-gapped networks or registration in connected networks. Their usage is governed by the terms outlined in the End User License Agreement (EULA).

Enforced

Licenses under this enforcement type require authorization before use. This authorization comes in the form of an authorization code, which must be installed on the corresponding product instance.

An example of an enforced license is the Media Redundancy Protocol (MRP) Client license, available on Industrial Ethernet Switches.

Export-Controlled

Licenses in this enforcement type are restricted by U.S. trade-control laws and require authorization before use. An authorization code must be installed on the corresponding product instance. Cisco may pre-install export-controlled licenses when purchased with hardware.

An example of an export-controlled license is the High Security (HSEC) license, available on select Cisco routers.

High Security License

The High Security (HSEC) License is an additional feature license that can be configured alongside the network license. It provides export controls for strong encryption levels. HSEC is available to customers in all non-embargoed countries as listed by the U.S. Department of Commerce. The HSEC license removes the default limit of 250 Mbps of IPsec throughput in each direction, allowing for higher performance.

As part of HSEC license, a new bandwidth option called "uncapped" is available. With this new feature, the IR1101 will support the following bandwidth and license types:

  • Network-essentials 250 Mbps

  • Network-advantage 250 Mbps

  • Network-essentials uncapped

  • Network-advantage uncapped

  • HSEC

See the Configure Uncapped Throughput Level procedure on how to configure uncapped throughput level on IR1101.

Ordering

An example of ordering license for the IR1101-K9 is shown here:

  1. Select Network Essentials Uncapped License.

    The L-1101-HSEC-K9 license is included automatically when you select the uncapped license, as shown below.

  2. Click Done.

Cisco Software Central

This guide provides information on how to order, activate, and manage your Cisco Smart Licenses.

Smart Licensing Using Policy Architecture

This section outlines the different components that may be included in your SLP implementation.

Product Instance

A product instance refers to a single unit of a Cisco product, identified by a Unique Device Identifier (UDI). It tracks and reports license usage through RUM reports, and provides alerts and system messages for overdue reports, communication failures, and other issues. Additionally, the RUM reports and usage data are securely stored within the product instance.

RUM Report

A Resource Utilization Measurement (RUM) report is a license usage report that meets the reporting requirements outlined by the policy. Generated by the product instance and processed by CSSM, RUM reports document license usage and any changes in an open report. At predetermined intervals, the system closes open RUM reports and creates new ones to continue recording license usage. Once closed, a RUM report is prepared for submission to CSSM.

RUM Acknowledgement

A RUM acknowledgement (RUM ACK or ACK) is a response from CSSM indicating the status of a RUM report. When an ACK for a report is received by the product instance, it means the corresponding RUM report is no longer required and can be deleted.

CSSM shows license usage information based on the most recent RUM report received.

Cisco Smart Software Manager

CSSM is a portal that allows you to manage all your Cisco software licenses from a central location. It helps you handle current needs, review usage trends, and plan for future licensing requirements.

You can access CSSM at https://software.cisco.com . Under the License tab, click the Smart Software Licensing link.

In CSSM you can:

  • create, manage, or view virtual accounts

  • create and manage product instance registration tokens

  • transfer or view licenses between virtual accounts

  • transfer, remove, or view product instances

  • run reports on your virtual accounts

  • modify your email notification settings, and

  • view overall account information.

Before using CSSM, watch a brief video on New User Introduction to Cisco Smart Software Manager.

Cisco Smart Licensing Utility

CSLU is a Windows-based reporting tool that offers aggregate licensing workflows. It allows you to manage all your licenses and their associated product instances directly from your premises, eliminating the need to connect to CSSM.

This utility performs the following key functions:

  • Provides options for triggering workflows, either by CSLU or by the product instance.

  • Collects usage reports from the product instance and uploads them to the corresponding smart account or virtual account, either online or offline using files. It also collects RUM report ACKs and returns them to the product instance.

  • Sends authorization code requests to CSSM and receives authorization codes from CSSM.

CSLU in SLE Topology

CSLU can be part of your SLE topology in the following ways:

  • Install the Windows application to use CSLU as a standalone tool and connect it to CSSM.

  • Install the Windows application to use CSLU as a standalone tool without connecting to CSSM. In this case, usage information is downloaded to a file and then uploaded to CSSM, which is suitable for air-gapped networks.

  • Embed it in a controller such as Cisco Catalyst Center.

Customer Topologies

IoT Routing platforms use two different topologies. They are

  • Full Offline Access

  • CSLU has No Access To CSSM

Full Offline Access

The following image illustrates the Full Offline Access topology, where devices do not have connectivity to (Cisco Smart Software Manager – software.cisco.com). The user must manually copy and paste information between Cisco products and CSSM to check in and out licenses.

CSLU has No Access To CSSM

The following image illustrates the CSLU having No Access to CSSM topology, where devices are connected to the CSLU controller. However, there is no connectivity between CSLU and CSSM (Cisco Smart Software Manager – software.cisco.com). Cisco devices will send usage information to the locally installed CSLU. The user must manually copy and paste information between CSLU and CSSM to check in and check out licenses.

License Installation Procedure: Full Offline Access Topology

This procedure requires a manual exchange of required information between the router and CSSM.

Refer to the following graphic for the flow of information:

  1. Generate a License Usage Data file or AuthCode Request.
